Cloud 9 – BIRD NESTING IN FINGERS IN BLOOM/ROOM #7

Moonhorse wraps its 20th anniversary season with a Cloud 9 Gala!
Please join Classical FM’s Jean Stilwell and The Theatre Centre Artistic Director Franco Boni on Wednesday, May 10 at 6:30pm at The Theatre Centre upstairs lobby Your ticket includes drinks, culinary treats and the 8pm performance.

2 Show pass: Cloud 9 BIRD NESTING IN FINGERS IN BLOOM/ROOM #7 will be performed on alternating evenings with Kaeja D’Dance’s CRAVE/DEFIANT program. See both shows for $39.

Cloud 9, produced by MOonhORsE Dance Theatre, raises the artform to new heights in commissioned works by Lina Cruz and DA Hoskins for some of Canada’s most revered older dancers.

Lina Cruz’s Room #7 is a space-time for three intriguing females, evolving as characters of a comic strip. Legendary performers Louise Bédard, Karen Kaeja, and Claudia Moore are a territorial trio, revealing themselves as unusual heroines claiming the right to their small chaotic world, a world including their stage confidant, musician-performer Philippe Noireaut.

DA Hoskins, an artist who thrives on the vitality and expressive immediacy of dance, creates a potent reflection of the self, personally and collectively, in Bird Nesting in Fingers in Bloom. Powerful and poetic, DA’s quartet for Cloud 9 is a wordless collision of experience that binds the players’ bodies in a sharing of understanding, a wisdom that renders the illuminations of the self, tactile.

Cloud 9 BIRD NESTING IN FINGERS IN BLOOM/ROOM #7 will be performed on alternating evenings with Kaeja D’Dance’s CRAVE/DEFIANT program.
See both shows for $39.

“The difference between Versus and my other shows is that this one is a celebration of community while the other ones were me trying to punch people in the face to say, “wake up.” Rather, it’s me saying, “we’re all like this guy, it’s tough, so let’s keep walking forward together.” Residency Artist, Adam Lazarus,...
